Update 7/19/2018 Engine is installed with transmission, Went in pretty smoothly after a few adjustments. Used a A10 motor mount on passenger side and a KA Motor mount on the driver side. Engine Harness is mostly plugged in. Currently working on figure out wiring up the transmission to get reverse lights and neutral. Once i figure out that i will move on wiring to the cam/am box. Then i can get to the fun part on making some custom modifications, Installing Clutch pedal, radiator etc etc. IMG_20180701_130841 by thesegamaster, on Flickr

I have a KA Flex plate and Torque converter if needed.

I need some property. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/d/datsun-pickup/6640065034.html

Nice Wagon! Check out the A10 Page. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/50263-a10s-u-nite/

Update 4/8/2018 Engine is mostly assembled with all new gaskets. Still need to do the rear main seal and thermostat. New Hoses and Vacuum lines are in place. I have ordered the rest of the items needed for the install. Hopefully the engine will be installed by the end of this month so i can get working on wiring and start re-installing the interior.

Answered Solved. I just wrapping up the gasket job. Cleaned everything up the best i could without getting too extreme, Clean enough to not get your hands all greasy when you work on it. I am ordering some new vacuum lines and coolant hoses that are attached the manifold. Its coming along pretty smooth and not rushing anything. I still need to fabricate a Clutch pedal but that will come when the engine is in the car. So i can get everything lined up correctly.

Okay, Update. I see know how to make a pedal work. I can make a pedal with some fabrication! Working on a design.

So, Here is my Pedal Assembly. I am sure i can make my own pedal. Can someone help me out with reference pictures so i know where the spring goes? Auto to manual conversion.

Update: Went to the Auto Salvage yard today, They had a 83 Nissan Pickup that had a z20s with a Manual Transmission. I picked up the KA24DE that came with a automatic transmission. Of course that would not work for me. Upon research online i found that you can use a good old manual stumpy trans for the swap, Since the KA block is practically the same as a z20s having the same hole pattern, so the transmission will bolt right in. I also started cleaning up the plastics with some 303 Automotive cleaner and man, do the plastics look new! I have the wiring harness in the car, need to wire up the CAM/AM Box, I pulled the two connects i needed from a 240sx chassis harness that was at the same salvage yard. That way i do not have to cut the engine harness. I tired finding the connectors online with not much luck. I power washed the gunk of the engine with still more cleaning to do. I need to get it up on the engine stand so i can starting replacing a much over due gasket job. Question: I am looking at rockauto for a Flywheel and Clutch. The Clutch and Flywheel for the KA or the Clutch and flywheel for the 83 Pickup. Stumpy Specs: I can get a Clutch either in 225mm or 240mm disc diameter. It looks like the KA Clutch disc diameter is 225mm. I assuming i go with the 225mm. Flywheel: Z20s/Stumpy Flywheel says diameter is 12.09". While the KA diameter 12.03. Or does it really matter, its such a small amount it wont be noticed? I assure i am just over thinking it. But info is always appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Anyone with a Manual A10 that has a Z20, Do you think you can can get a picture of the pedal assembly for me? I got a Manual trans and need to do a conversion.

What are the wires that you are wiring in and what do they go too?

Life goal right there!

I bought a 1980 Datsun 510(A10) wagon 4 years ago with wanting to learn on how to rebuild a engine with the intention to do a KA Swap down the line. Well I finally acquired a 93 KA24DE. I wanted to go ahead and remove unnecessary things from under the dash leading me to just remove all the interior since i was that deep in and for a good reason. If you ever want to know what your gonna find in a 37 year old car its a rats nest, bunch of cigarette butts and a crayon. Questions: What is recommend to clean the floor? I was thinking soap and scrub brush? Also going about replacing the carpet. What have you used in the past? What type of barrier do i put down? Should go ahead and use por 15 and paint the floor to prevent rusting, the car is pretty clean of rust only a few spots.
